Filed Jan 19, 2018 · 54,000 miles · NY

Almost all the gauges on my intstrumet cluster have failed. Speedometer 1st, oil pressure gauge next, and now my fuel gauge has failed. Many complaints from chevy owners re: same issue. No response yet from chevy.

All of my gauges including fuel gauge, tachometer, and speedometer have stopped working. They will work some days and then others the gauges are all out of whack. It seems to occur especially when it is cold out. I am very frustrated that this is happening. I realize that my vehicle is older, but I do appreciate working gauges!!!

...the instrument cluster...tach, speedometer, gas gauge, have all malfunctioned...the tach stopped working all together in '09....the speedo has stopped ,...miss read speed which means that I have no idea how fast I'm going..the gas gauge is inaccurate...telling me that I have more fuel than I actually have....there is no one fuse, solenoid, or fix per instrument...I'm told the whole cluster must be replaced...$275 last time I checked...this has be brought up to my local dealership...this is "not" acceptable!!!....there should be individual "fixes' and not a "money making' situation for gm...!!!

One day I woke up and got in my car to go to work and before I left I noticed my gauges were messed up. The ABS symbol, the parking break symbol, and the low battery lights all were on and my temperature gauge was at zero and still is. The gas gauge is at zero the battery and oil gauges are all placed at zero. I checked all my fuses found a couple bad ones and replaced them and the problem is still not fixed. The car still drives. But I am fearful of a shut down in the middle of the road with it acting like this.

The instrument cluster on the 2003 trailblazer malfunctions, causes the speedometer to stop working and you can't tell how fast your going. The malfunctions also occur with the temperature, oil, and gas gauge. Very dangerous not knowing how fast your going. The vehicle needs to be recalled.

First rear A/C stopped working and repaired but stopped working less than a year later. Gas gauge stopped registering amount left so now we go by fill ups and reset mileage each time. Rear brake lights have been replaced multiple times because of melting in sockets and now right turn signal won't work bc there is problem with socket again. Passenger side rear door handle doesn't engage consistently either. Repairs are frustrating. Biggest issue was transmission died right after warranty expired and we had to cover entire cost of this. Kind of sucks because I love my truck but the electrical system seems to have problems.

2003 trailblazer ltz. I've been having problems with the gauges on the dashboard. Oil gauge went out about a year ago, then the fuel gauge went out about 6 months ago, and now the RPM just went out a few weeks ago. Are there a recall to fix the electrical problem on the dashboard? I was able to look at the odometer and see how many miles I have left until I need to fill up.

I was dropping the family off at a birthday party before going into work. The family kept complaining about the strong gas fumes. The smell was extremely overpowering. When I arrived at work, I noticed that it looked like gas was leaking around the middle of the gas tank, on top. Then, the gauge started not registering when gas was being put in. It is also very hard to start up. The vehicle takes 2 cranks before it will actually start up. When I asked a mechanic what it could possibly be, he stated that the trailblazers are known for having an exposed area on top of tank that gets corroded and that the fuel pump and fuel sending unit would have to be replaced. The estimate was for $700-800 dollars. I cannot continue driving until it is repaired, otherwise, someone will flick a cigarette out window and the trailblazer will blow up.

Speedometer, generator gauge, and oil pressure gauge stopped working over three years ago. I checked for a recall but was told there was not one on this model. I was told there were recalls for other chevrolet vehicles, and kept waiting for a notice regarding the trailblazer. I am worried now the fuel gauge will stop working. The mileage is now at almost 81,000 miles. The speedometer and other gauge issues create a very hazardous problem, and is detrimental to the safety of me and my children / other passengers. I would like to be notified of a recall notice.

While driving on the highway vehicle shut off with no warning, fuel gauge showed 1/4 tank. After pulling to the shoulder then showed empty and gas light came on.

Temperature gauge reads higher than it should and gas gauge fluctuates.
